    What Maf, Injectors, Fuel Pump, Tuning?

    Ok so heads are already ordered, intake is going on because I like the look and I have it. In the far off future I'll upgrade the intake and maybe a stand alone set-up too. For now probably a MAF setup. Just wondering which to go with. Reliable Street car only, probably will never race it. 1...

    What Maf, Injectors, Fuel Pump, Tuning?

    So I'm swapping a built 351W into my '92 fox hatch. I've got a pretty good handle on what I need to put the engine into the car and fit it to the T5, (minus the flywheel, looking for a neutral balance flywheel that will fit). Besides that I'm not exactly sure what MAF, injectors, fuel pump...

    Fox Shock/strut Options?

    so i have the choice between the Koni Str.T or the eibach pro dampers, front and rears, koni's are cheaper, but not by a whole lot. 92 hatchback 5.0L 5-speed. currently has eibach sway bars, rear upper/lower control arms, sub frame connectors, front strut tower brace, and i replaced the worn...

    Engine Slowly Building A 351w

    Im throwing my long term engine build idea out there for some constructive criticism. 1992 hatchback. So far I have a '95 351w roller block, lightning upper/lower intake. im slowly piecing this together as I come across used parts. Im hoping to find some decent flowing used aluminum heads this...

    Wheels-Tires 15" Tires

    Well I want my cake... and I want to eat it too:) im more concerned about the tire sizes fitting properly. I get parts/tires for cost at the shop I work at so I like trying different things out. Something new every year... maybe I have ADD as well...

    Wheels-Tires 15" Tires

    so I picked up some 15x7.5 centerline rims. pretty light weight rims. I should drop 15-20 lbs. per corner over my 17" cobra R wheels set. I use my Mustang as a fun street car. good handling and smooth-ish ride are important. going to a light weight 15" rim will give me a bit more sidewall for a...

    Engine Making It All Fit Together...

MM strut tower brace, MM caster/camber plates, 3/8" phenolic intake manifold spacer. now, if anyone has done this please post up about how you made it fit. I've already got the parts so no going back now. what...

    302-351 Intake Question

    that's a pretty slick adapter... too bad I forgot about this thread. I should check this place out more. I ended up buy a used lightning lower with the tubular cobra upper. Which I find to be a very good looking set-up. It may not flow the most air but if I add some boost it will perform very well.

    302-351 Intake Question

    Yes it seems they are much different. One of those lightning lowers with GT upper, throttle body and 24# injectors came up for sale not far from me. 700$ sounded high but may be not too bad. They look pretty slick. But still getting close to the price of a new tfs or edelbrock. Thanks for the...

    302-351 Intake Question

    Hey guys, So I have a 351w roller EFI. I thought I heard years ago that you could use the upper plenum from a 302 on the lower plenum from a truck 302... I'm wondering if anyone has tried the 302 upper on a 351 lower? My car is in winter storage at the moment so I can't measure or swap. I'm also...

    Fuel Injected 351w Into Foxbody Mustang

    I don't mind buying the aftermarket intake, I'm just wondering if there's a stock version that will fit. Are the 351W heads any good? The Clevor would be cool but only if I can use fuel injection...

    Fuel Injected 351w Into Foxbody Mustang

    So what's the deal with this swap. I've done some research on parts needed to physically bolt it in, motor mounts, proper flywheel to work with my t5, accessories and such. But what about making the fuel injection work? I have a '92 lx hatchback and I found a 351w from a '95 f250. Should be a...

    Fox Crate Engine Options?

    I'm slowly planning for a crate engine. I've seen the options on LMR, fordstrokers.com, DSS, kaase... Anything or anyone else out there that offers a good quality full forged 302 based crate engine. I like the frpp 363, that would be cool and offer that 500hp range I'm looking for. Also fuel...

    Smoother Riding Fox?

    It's funny you mention the grand marquis, before I bought the mustang I was looking at ex-police cars. Some nice cars for good prices. They would be a fun four door to cruise around in... My other vehicles are modified jeeps and trucks and it amazes me that they ride smoother then my mustang...

    Smoother Riding Fox?

    Hey thanks for the info guys. I've got the lower torque box reinforcements in. No plans to lower the car at the moment. The shocks and struts aren't original but I wouldn't say they are great. Front control arm bushings and ball joints will go on my to-do list. I'll see how it is after sub-frame...

    Smoother Riding Fox?

    Not sure how to ask this question, but the jist is I'd like my '92 LX hatch back to ride smoother. I can feel every crack in the road. I like the smooth but controlled feeling in my vehicles. So far as I can tell the suspension is all stock coils struts and sway bars. I am currently adding rear...
